Helm the Town Along.

There ought TO be a good deal OF idle
capital here now. There is certainly
plenty at the North looking for safe, pay
ing investments. There are certain man
ufacturing industries which would pay
handsomely in this city. The people here
are so eDgrossed with cotton, lumber,
naval stores and rice, however, that they
don't look with the favor they ought on
manufacturing enterprises.
In another column We print an inter
view showing that factory for the man
ufacture of acid for fertiliZing purposes
would pay handsomely here. 1t offers
a safe investment, and one, too, that Will
pay a very handsome return, according
to statements made in the interview.
Our business men who have money to
invest ought to look into this matter.
If they can invest their money so as to
get good return for it, ana at the same
time give the town boost, they ought to
do 80. They ought to have sufficient
pride in their city to help it along when
they can without detriment to their
own interests. There is enough money
lying idle In the banks drawing no inter-
est, or drawing only per cent, to build
half dozen acid factories. Why not put
some OF It into factories that will pay 10
or II per cent. interest?

FROM me AelC ! OfE 111OHhe.
There is secret in Washington involving
the name Of a Senator'S wife of whom the fol-
lowing is told, as having occurred recently:
The Senator's wife in her round of visits
called on a lady whose marriage within a
year was one of the events talked of in official
society, on account of the high Official posi-
tiOn of her husband. The Senator's wife as
the story goes called on the ladv's ''day, -
and was received with much cordial polite
ness, as were all callers. In a little pause
after the first salutations, the Senator's wife
said, ''ls 1t true, Mrs. Blank, that you were a
clerk in one of the departments before your
fret marriage; and did your mother keep Il
boarding house?"
The hostess proved equal to the unexpected
assault, as she also proved herself a woman of
good breeding-which cannot be said of her
visitor.
Yes" she replied, with perfect dignity
and good temper, "iJ is true that l was a
clerk in one of the departments before my
first marriage. But my mother did not keep
boarding house. If she had / sh3sld have
had home and there would have been no
necessity for me to be clerk, you know"
The name of the Senator's wife is the Sc
cret society people are just now irving to find
out. The name OF the woman who made the
womauly answer is known and she is com
mended on all HANDS for courage and good
sense. She Is likely to be liked for herself
rather than for the social position given by
her husbands prominence.

DIR. NicGIYnn's Case.

Our dispatches this morning st ate that
those who are watching with and nursing
DR.. McGlynn have made an appeal to his
friends to let him alone, in order that he
may get the mental and bodily rest OF
which he is in so much need. He is a
very sick man. The mental strain which
he has endured within the last few weeks
has been too great for him to bear and
retain his health.
II Is stated also that the story that he
has been permanently debarred from ex-
erclsing his functions as a priest is ap-
parently without foundation. On We'd
nesday the story was widely published in
New York that he had been "un-
frocked," and that he was
going TO Rome, not Oh the order Of the
church, nor as priest, but as the repre-
sentative of the Catholic wOrkingmen of
America to present their case in its
proper light to the authorities OF the
church there, II our dispatches contain
correct information he has not decided
not to go to Rome as priest, and in ODE
dlence TO the summons of the church.
Indeed, it is regarded as probable, that he
will go as soon as he RECEIVERS from his
present prOstration.
There IS no doubt that Henry George
has done DIR. McGlynn incalculable
harm. BY advocating his cause and at
tacking the Catholic Church he has
created the impression that he is acting
in harmony with DR.. MeGlynn's wishes.
If he is the friend to Dr.. McGlynn he pre-
tends to be he will let him alone TO de-
lend himself his own way.
